	A Science Odyssey: People and Discoveries: Ford installs first moving assembly line
		In 1907, Henry Ford announced his goal for the Ford Motor Company: to create "a motor car for the great multitude." At that time, automobiles were expensive, custom-made machines.
		Then he divided the labor by breaking the assembly of the Model T into 84 distinct steps.
		In 1913, they came together in the first moving assembly line ever used for large-scale manufacturing.

	Transport apparatus for an assembly line - Patent 5012917
		To transport the platforms on an assembly line, either the drive forces of the brake motors are applied at the beginning of the assembly line by increasing the power, or the power of the stopping motors at the end of the assembly line is reduced, so that any desired transport velocity can be achieved.
		Line 1 is designed to operate in the direction of arrow 62 while line 2 is designed to operate in the direction of arrow 52.
		At each end, opposite their respective starting end, assembly lines 1 and 2 have stopping motors 15 which include friction gears 16 that are in contact with platform 8, of the assembly line, which is farthest forward in the transport direction.

		Side Frame: Large assembly fixtures the length of the body were suspended vertically from a continuously-moving overhead conveyor; these were continuous-loop conveyors, one for the RH side, one for the LH side, across the aisle on both sides of the body framing line.
		The individual specifications for the remainder of assembly were "broadcast" to assembly stations throughout the Chevrolet assembly plant and the units were released in proper sequence to the Trim Line.
		Another operator on the other side of the line repeated the process with the specified transmission, which was then installed and bolted to the engine; on automatics, an air tool was used to rotate the flexplate, and the converter bolts were driven, followed by the lower cover.

	Henry Ford Changes the World, 1908
		Central to Ford's ability to produce an affordable car was the development of the assembly line that increased the efficiency of manufacture and decreased its cost.
		Prior to the introduction of the assembly line, cars were individually crafted by teams of skilled workmen - a slow and expensive procedure.
		It was then that the idea occurred to me that assembly would be easier, simpler, and faster if we moved the chassis along, beginning at one end of the plant with a frame and adding the axles and the wheels; then moving it past the stockroom, instead of moving the stockroom to the chassis.
